Airlines worked Saturday to deliver luggage to passengers around the world after a technical breakdown left at least 1,500 bags stuck at Paris’ Charles de Gaulle airport.

Flights from Roissy-Charles de Gaulle airport in Paris and other French airports faced disruptions Friday as airport workers held a strike and protests to demand salary hikes to keep up with inflation. It's the latest trouble to hit global airports this summer, as travel resurges after two years of virus restrictions.
Union activists said many more passengers flew without their bags, apparently because of knock-on effects from the original breakdown. Unions plan to continue striking Sunday but no flights have been canceled so far. They have threatened to renew the strike next weekend if negotiations with company management don't succeed in finding a compromise.
